Edited NASA image of a long exposure view of the exhaust plumes from the Delta IV Heavy rocket as it flies to orbit. Color/processing variant.
Original caption: The United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket is seen in this long exposure photograph as it launches NASA's Parker Solar Probe to touch the Sun, Sunday, Aug. 12, 2018 from Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. Parker Solar Probe is humanity’s first-ever mission into a part of the Sun’s atmosphere called the corona. Here it will directly explore solar processes that are key to understanding and forecasting space weather events that can impact life on Earth. Photo Credit: (NASA/Bill Ingalls)

*Note: I've geotagged all of these pics in this set as being at the entrance, because unless you take a tour starting from the Infinity Science Center, that's as close as you'll get, and it's impossible now for me to figure out where more precisely, in the non-GoogleMapped campus, just where everything was, so that's close enough. :)

Edited NASA image of exhaust from the three rocket engines of the rocket carrying the Parker Solar Probe.

When Discovery was actively motoring, gaining more and more speed, the three high temperature plasma exhausts coming out of the three rocket engine nozzles were clearly visible in the dark sky.
Comparable with D-class motor.
* Total impulse: 20 Ns
* Average thrust: 10 Ns
* Thrust duration: 2 s
* Dimensions (Ø x l): 20,2 x 85 mm
A little bit of Saturn. The suspended ring is the instrument module from a Saturn V. In the middle is a J-2 engine. Off to the right is a third-stage ullage motor.
Cette fusée aurait dû partir avec la mission Apollo 20. Une fois le programme annulé, elle demeura à l'abandon pendant plus de 20 ans mais fut récemment rénovée. Très impressionnant !

This tower was not only restored, it was used as the style template for the rest of this luxurious beach home.
